Can’t turn off Build On Save

[ron-wolf]

I can’t turn off Build On Save, and it’s pretty annoying. I tried changing the preference but it didn’t work. How should I proceed?

when you say "Build On Save" do you mean an actual build or a format job being run? sublime text refers to both as a "Build".

Yeah +1 here, this is extremely annoying. Save means save, it doesn't mean "run some other arbitrary code". This should not be enabled by default, and it should be clearly documented.

@ron-wolf Here is the settings that turns this off (in the syntax specific preferences):

// These settings override both User and Default settings for the Zig syntax
{
"zig.build.on_save": false,
"zig.fmt.on_save": false
}

@readmodifywrite Will try this out next chance I get! @emekoi Sorry for missing your reply, it’s been a month or so so I don’t recall. I think it was an actual attempt to compile but I could be wrong.

I question whether this is a good default since it's somewhat obstructive to users.
